This API is implemented in Blink. It is available in browsers based on Chromium 89 and later, such as Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. Individual Chromium-based browsers may choose to enable or disable this API. Chromium-based Android browsers do not support this API because Android itself does not provide a direct API for accessing HID devices (Chromium issue 964441). For the same reason this API is not available in Android WebView (Chromium issue 1164125).
